finding fault

Oh how I wish
I could blame it on you;
The unyielding hurt I feel
Day and night;
The pit in my stomach
That seems to grow deeper
by the second;
The pounding in my chest;
The aching in my bones.
How I wish it was your fault,
But it wasn't my dear.
It was mine.
I am the one to blame
for the pain I feel.
I alone.
I expected too much from you,
I fear.
But how is wanting to receive
the same amount of love
I gave to you
Expecting too much?
I feel guilty
for desiring to be loved;
For desiring to be wanted.
But why?
Why should I?

All I wanted
was for you to be
as attached to me
as I was you.
Was that too much to ask?
